• Correct balance
–
Set each tension dial to recommended setting
and test sew on a sample of your fabric.
• How to balance the thread tension
When the chainstitch needle thread tension is too
loose;
–
Turn the needle thread tension dial (green)
toward a higher number.
–
Or, turn the chainstitch looper thread tension
dial (violet) toward a lower number.
PLEASE NOTE:
–
These are suggested tension settings only.
–
Tension settings are effected by;
1. Type and thickness of fabric
2. Needle size
3. Size, type and fiber content of thread
– Stitch length for 2-Thread Chainstitch
should be set at over 2 mm.
